What is Prader-Willi syndrome? Prader-Willi syndrome is a genetic imprinting disorder affecting chromosome 15, which causes a variety of symptoms including overeating and obesity.

Prader-Willi syndrome is a genetic disorder, a condition caused by an error in one or more genes. The problem lies in the genes located in a particular region of chromosome 15.
A defect on chromosome 15 disrupts the normal functions of a portion of the brain called the hypothalamus, which controls the release of hormones. A hypothalamus that isn't functioning properly can interfere with processes that result in problems with hunger, growth, sexual development, body temperature, mood and sleep.

Early diagnosis and treatment can improve the quality of life for people with Prader-Willi syndrome.

Good nutrition for infants.

Human growth hormone (HGH) treatment. HGH treatment in children with Prader-Willi syndrome helps increase growth, improves muscle tone and decreases body fat.

An endocrinologist may suggest that your child take hormone replacement therapy (testosterone for males or estrogen and progesterone for females) to replenish low levels of sex hormones.

A dietitian can help you develop a healthy, reduced-calorie diet to help manage your child's weight while ensuring proper nutrition.

Your child will likely benefit from a range of therapies, including physical therapy to improve movement skills and strength, speech therapy to improve verbal skills, and occupational therapy to learn everyday skills.

1) Poor muscle tone.
2) Distinct facial features.
3) Generally poor responsiveness.
4) constant craving for food, resulting in rapid weight gain, starting around age 2 years.
5) Underproduction of growth hormone can result in short adult height, low muscle mass and high body fat. Other endocrine problems may include underproduction of thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism) or central adrenal insufficiency, which prevents the body from responding appropriately during stress or infections.
6) Mild to moderate intellectual disability,
7) Children and adults with Prader-Willi syndrome may have sleep disorders.

In a healthy person their HGH is at proper levels, and their hypothalamus communicates to their pituitary hormone production. Hormones of the pituitary gland help regulate the functional of other endocrine glands.
